First make sure that the apk is deodexed. If it is not then first deodex it[check my signature for easily deodexing APKs]
Then place the app in /system/app and set permissions like this -
XX-
X--
X--
HOPEFULLY the apk will appear on your system. Then try opening it and if it force closes then take a log cat of the problem and try to fix the fc. Also copy any necessary libs required by the apk to /system/lib and set permissions.
Also, if the apk shows up without an icon and says null then I don't think that anything can be done. If you take an apk from jb and try to use it in ICS then it mostly will not work since the API Level of jb is higher and ICS is lower.
Good luck

Enable USB debugging in your phone and connect it with your pc. Then run this command - adb logcat
You will see a bunch of many lines and warnings etc. Then open the app and allow it to force close. Then press Ctrl+C on your keyboard to stop the logcat. Then in the logcat check for some lines which talk about some Java coding like NullPointerException in main at line 153 etc. or missing lib etc. It is obviously better if you know java but you can try to fix the fc's by searching and using google in case you don't know what the problem is.

Hi,
Can anyone point me on a right track to find solution to this tread???
I would like to replace stock xperia arc dialer/contacts app with native gingerbread as nexus or cm7 rom has. Plus i'm looking for solution to replace incoming call app on my arc because i'm using density=200 and it doesn't look nice...
Thanks in advance
Bump bump bump
Xperia have dialer from SonyEricsson. Original Android dialer looks like in screenshot. You must take it from some original rom cm7 or stock Motorola.
Try to install this.

Then backup your phone.apk to sdcard, and push my *.apk to system/app, set permissions & reboot.
You'll see if it works.

Greetings XDA, Im new here and i need some help regarding apk multi tool.. Ive searched the forums but i couldnt find any suitable answers
So I am trying to decompile the framework-res.apk and edit the styles.xml in values folder .. but everytime i compile it back and push it to my sytem/framework, and restart my phone bootloops..
this happens even if i donot mod anything in the apk and just decompile - recompile - push..
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance
You have to sign the APK after you decompile!

This is wrong. Never sign a system framework file. You only sign user apps and a very small number of system apps.
What changes are you making? For what OS?

ohhk! It happened to me as well and someone told me its because I haven't signed the APK.
Anyways, Thanks for correcting me
Try by making compression level to 0 and heap size to 512
This solved my problem though.
Also be sure that u don't get any errors while compiling the apk.
Hit thanks if helped
I can't even get it to compile!

i want to ask if any body tried already to remove menus from settings like i want to hide the about phone on stock settings.apk deodexed on jb 4.2 i want to get rid of some menus in my settings i ported dakele os to mtk6589 so i would like to ask if how to? since it is a ported rom some of the menus are not a feature of my stock rom and i want to hide or remove them just to prevent boot loop for example like this in the attachment below i want to get rid of the ad block or sensor_cali .. ..
i badly need help kinda excited to release my ported rom hehe
TIA:good::fingers-crossed:
uppdate: ive done some experement in settings_header.xml i tried to change the name of about phone to phone only and it works so my conclusion is settings_headers changes the appearance of the settings menu
I have not used ICS or JB much but it's possible.
I know exact process of how to do that on GB but not ICS. You'll have to decompile Settings.apk and look for the xml which controls the layout of app.

Which tool are you using to compile apps? And System apps don't need to be signed. Maybe that's the problem.
If you want, you can check out Ultimate Guide in Android Development Section which shows how to correctly compile system apps. Its sticky(noun, not an adjective ) there

If you've read my guide, you would know that you'll have to add resources.arsc from new app to old app and then push old app to your phone

Hi guys !
I'm having a problem recompiling the systemui.apk, i'm modding some .xml files and everything goes fine, it recompiles ok but when i push it to my phone there's no change i decompile the modified apk and the xml files aren't change either it's like i didn't change anything from them.
Every single time a recompile an apk it goes back to normal
Does anyone else has that problem or is just me , and does someone knows how can i fix that problem?
INFO :
Windows 8 pro
Using : Apktool , Auto apktool and tickle my android (in all of them i get that same problem)
Thanks in advance, regards

Already read it and that's what i've been doing, and like i said the changes aren't saved. Every time i delete o put some codes in the xml file with notepad++ i save them but after i recompile the apk i decompile it again to check if everything's alright but the files look like the original ones.

Yep, the recompile goes ok. I wanna change the toggle icons and wanna move the icons in the status bar.
And actually ticklefish already help me with that and when i push it nothing happen either, so i don't think it's a prob with win8 cuz before i didn't had that problem, it started this week
The systemUi is from honami i1 rom from aneel, i already install the framework from the rom.

Hmm seems weird.. It's like it needs certain framework to pull the correct public ids.. is this a system app? Or what rom did you get it from? If you pulled it from a rom..try installing that roms frameworks in apk tool. .then decompile it..
If not..pull a log and see what errors it's throwing at you when it fcs. .If you want post it here..and I'll see if I can help you at all

Looks like it is not installing correctly.. Also what Android version are you on? Does this app support it?
It is also requesting to write to internal storage which I know something in 4.4 have changed with that.
? Why are you decompiling it?
